The kind of events we're talking about are the Spanish Flu pandemic that killed tens of millions of people or the 1929 crash that made tens of millions of people bankrupt or homeless. The Cuban missile crisis was a political event that was over in a day. So basically, events with a tangible, extreme and direct impact on younger individuals over a wide area. Does clear up the conditions required for the hypothesis a bit. What events post-1950 would rate in the US, in that case?

John wrote:No. The kind of event that precipitates the 58 year phenomenon is something like the Spanish Flu pandemic or the 1929 crash that deeply affects every family to their core, including the children. That JFK assassination is nothing like that, and most children probably weren't even aware of it.
